Microsoft Resumes Bitcoin Payments After Halt Over 'Instability'

Tech giant Microsoft is once more accepting bitcoin payments on its online store.

According to Bleeping Computer, Microsoft temporarily suspended bitcoin transactions last week, with company sources citing the "unstable" state of the cryptocurrency. The reason was likely due to bitcoin's current high volatility and fees, the tech news source added.

An unnamed spokeswoman from Microsoft has now confirmed to News.com.au that bitcoin payments have been restored.
